Corrections

An article on Tuesday about politicking on behalf of Caroline Kennedy as a possible candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton reported that Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Ms. Kennedy’s uncle, had called Gov. David A. Paterson to advocate for his niece. The information was attributed to Democratic aides, speaking anonymously.

On Tuesday, both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Paterson said no such conversation had taken place. The Times should have sought their comment before publication. A corrective article is on Page A38. (Go to Original Article)

Business Day

A picture on Saturday with an article about the Washington connections of Cerberus Capital Management, which controls Chrysler, was published in error. Eric Feldstein, one of three men shown, is now chief financial officer of Eton Park, a hedge fund in New York; he is no longer with GMAC, G.M.’s finance arm. (Mr. Feldstein looked on as Rick Wagoner, chief executive of General Motors, and Mark Neporent, chief operating officer of Cerberus, shook hands.) (Go to Article)

Sports

The Sports Business column on Tuesday, about the exclusion of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field from the Tribune Company’s petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, referred incorrectly to the professional credentials of Harvey Strickon, a lawyer specializing in bankruptcy issues who explained why certain subsidiaries are kept out of such cases. He is counsel to Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker — not a partner at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. (Go to Article)

An article on Saturday about the Honda Motor Company’s announcement that it would withdraw from Formula One racing as a response to the global financial crisis referred incorrectly to the changing value of the yen. It has been rising, not falling. (The situation makes the products of an exporter like Honda more expensive outside Japan at a time when auto sales are weak.) (Go to Article)

The Sports of The Times column in some editions on Friday, about the history of the Armory Track and Field Center in Manhattan, described incorrectly the track as it was in the 1960s. It was a flat surface, not banked. (Go to Article)

The Arts

A picture caption on Monday with a theater review of “Slava’s Snowshow” at the Helen Hayes Theater, using information provided by a publicist, misidentified the clown shown playing Yellow. He is Derek Scott — not Slava Polunin, who rotates in the role with Mr. Scott and Robert Saralp. (Go to Article)

An article on Saturday about the National Academy’s sale of two Hudson River School paintings from its collection to shore up its finances misstated the purpose of the sale of a Hudson River School painting in 2005 by the New York Public Library. The library said the proceeds went toward the purchase of materials for its research libraries, not toward improving its branches. (Go to Article)

Science Times

An article on Tuesday in the Evidence Gap series, about M.R.I. scans that can lead to incorrect diagnoses, misidentified the hometown of a patient who received such a diagnosis, and at one point misstated the knee injury detected by the scan. The patient, Cheryl Weinstein, lives in New London, N.H., not London. The scan, as noted elsewhere in the article, showed torn cartilage, not a torn ligament. Because of an editing error, the article also omitted the given name and title of an expert who said such diagnoses should take better account of epidemiological studies. He is Dr. Jeffrey Jarvik, a professor of radiology and neurosurgery at the University of Washington. (Go to Article)

The Basics column on Tuesday, about the sense of touch, misstated the thickness of a micron. It is one-25,000th of an inch, not one-400,000th. (Go to Article)

Obituaries

An obituary by The Associated Press on Nov. 29 about the Cornell University astrophysicist Edwin E. Salpeter misstated his date of death and gave an incomplete name for his surviving wife. Dr. Salpeter died on Nov. 26, not Nov. 25, and his widow is Antonia (Lhamo) Shouse Salpeter — not just Antonia Lhamo. (Go to Article)

Dining

A brief report in the Food Stuff column last Wednesday about Rogue Spruce Gin referred incompletely to where it is sold. While it is available online, it is also sold by at least two stores in New York: Borisal Liquor and Wine, 468 Fourth Avenue (10th Street) in Brooklyn, (718) 788-8214; and Crush Wine and Spirits, 153 East 57th Street in Manhattan, (212) 980-9463.

A photo caption last Wednesday with an article about cocktail enthusiasts who sometimes go to fussy extremes to make drinks misspelled the surname of a bartender at the bar PDT. He is John deBary, not deBari. (Go to Article)

Because of an editing error, a list of bars with an article last Wednesday about bartenders’ mixology philosophies gave an incorrect area code for the Drawing Room in Chicago. Its phone number is (312) 266-2694, not 313. (Go to Article)
